Basically, if your job can be automated simply, you are replaceable by a high school kid with computer experience. Sorry that's just the way it is.
Either of the options: automation or kid, would suck for you.
Thus this means you should learn and improve yourself before this happens. I agree with the other comments that you should learn to do the automation yourself. Yes your job disappears but most likely you become a more valuable resource to the company. Either in maintenance of the automation tools or other automation tasks.
I work with laser daily that have far greater power and focus than the average 5mW laser you can buy in a store.
And this report just makes me sad. Sending a guy to jail for something stupid.
The pilots could never have been blinded (permanently or even for a short while) with laser of these low power unfocused types. Its basically more dangerous to your retina to look into the sun.
The IEC 60601-2-22 for example defines a way to calculate the NOHD http://www.laserpointersafety.com/safetyinfo/safetyinfo/calcs.html
Basically this a method of calculating the chance of damage to the eye, based on distance, divergence of the beam, power and wavelength.
Example:EXAMPLE 1: In the U.S., lasers sold as pointers must be less than 5 mW. A typical divergence is 1 milliradian. What is the Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance? The 50/50 injury chance distance?
NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance) in feet = (32.8 / 1) * (square root of (0.5 * 5)) = 32.8 * (square root of 2.5) = 32.8 * 1.58 = 51.9 feet
ED50 distance in feet = 51.9 / 3.16 = 16.4 feet
Answer: The Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance of a 5 mW laser pointer with 1 mrad divergence is 51.9 feet. The ED50 distance means that if a person is 16.4 feet from the laser and is exposed under laboratory conditions (the laser and eye are fixed relative to each other), there is a 50/50 chance of causing a minimally detectable retinal lesion.
In short, unless the guy was sitting within 16 feet of the plane/helicopter, he has a 50% change of inducing ANY form of damage to the retina.
On the other hand, could the laser pointer pose a distraction to the pilot and the pilot could make a fatal error. Sure, but a ringing cellphone might do the same.

I've been working on fixing it. I have spent a huge amount of time
working on the tty stuff trying to gradually get it sane without breaking
anything and fixing security holes along the way as they came up. I spent
the past two evenings working on the tty regressions.
However I've had enough. If you think that problem is easy to fix you fix
it.
Have fun.
I've zapped the tty merge queue so anyone with patches for the tty layer
can send them to the new maintainer.

You can demand you personal data to be destroyed except when it has a specific purpose (ie bank records, police records etc).
If they fail to do so, or sell the data without written consent they can be fined.
I think the author is looking for a way to run the same commands on multiple servers at the time to ease administraton.
I should not that although the servers might be set up the same, running multiple commands on multiple servers can/is dangerous, since you don't see the results clearly.

Does it really matter who (in the sense of ethnic diversity) writes the OSS code or makes a important innovation?
The only thing that should matter (at least thats my opinion) is what they did (ie the result of their work).
I wouldn't even care if the creator of my next email application is white/black/yellow/blue, I only care about the quality of their work.
And I think if they do a good job they should be proud of themselves, because they did a good job and not because they did a good job and they were [enter whatever color you want].
Mobile Home Directories allows a mobile user to sync his home directory with a central server, backing it up and allowing an admin to manage it.
So does this mean they implemented the same Syncing as.Mac for the Servers? Because the current server can't do this. You have mobile user account but this only syncs the access rights etc not the user data.
